Samenvatting
In 1926 is Harry Houdini één van 's werelds beroemdste artiesten. Ondanks al het geld en de faam heeft Houdini echter één grote frustratie: dat hij niet bij het sterfbed van zijn moeder was om haar laatste woorden te horen. Benji McGregor en haar moeder Mary zijn twee straatarme bewoners van een krot in Edinburgh, die zich in leven houden door mensen te laten geloven dat zij met doden kunnen spreken. De twee vatten het plan op om de rijke Houdini voor de gek te houden, maar dat loopt niet geheel volgens plan...Credits
